It's Day 994 of #Russia's all-out invasion and war-crime-spree in #Ukraine.

Every single day (not a single day off), I've been here compiling daily threads with all the important news, fact checked and analysed in one place.

Thanks for joining me on the ride. Let's go!
For the first time in 73 days #Russia had a combined missile and drone attack overnight.

All the details coming up, but first the link to the start of Tuesday's thread for those still catching up with #Ukraine news.

I'll begin the new stories though with breaking news from occupied #Crimea.

Another car bomb attack has killed a prominent invader.

In #Sevastopol, it's reported a captain of the 1st rank of the Black Sea Fleet died when an IED exploded.
#RussiansGOHOME #CrimeaIsUkraine

Authorities in #Ukraine says this morning's attack by #Russia "was not massive" with the belief a bigger attack will follow.

The combined attack used cruise missiles, ballistics (incl #NorthKorea missiles), as well as drones said a spokesman.

These photos from #Kyiv region. Image

Image
Image
So, #Russia attacked with:
2x S-300 missiles
2x Kh-101
2x ballistic (likely NorthKorean)
#Ukraine air defence could not stop the S300s but downed the other missiles.
Of 90 drones:
37 shot down
47 stopped EW
2 flew to #Belarus/Russia
2 still fly
2 hit/landed in Ukraine. Image
In #Kyiv some damage was caused by debris.

Here a drone was shot down, and a fire broke out.
Within the last hour, #Ukraine's Prime Minister has announced another big cash injection from the United States.

Denys Shmyhal says the $1.35bn will go to support humanitarian and social programs Image
SkyNews gives an insight into the life of #Ukraine's Air Defenders near the border with #Russia.

Each night they try to stop the drones before they hit elsewhere in the country.

The last 3 days have seen the 3 highest days of deaths & seriously wounded of #Russia's invaders in the war

Another 1,770 casualties in the last 24 hours, joint second most, matching Monday's figure.

A big rise in hardware losses recently too; 24 tanks is the highest for weeks Image
#Russia tells its public it is in control of inflation (figures likely invented) while interest rates keep heading up (now 21%).

Printing money is officially illegal in🇷🇺 but is now being advised.
In a depression it can help, but for RU it will cause rampant inflation. Image
#RussiaIsCollapsing

More proof now of the aviation crisis for #Russia with over 30 airlines in danger of collapse, and this is even reported by state approved media.

Izvestia reports they cannot afford leasing costs of western planes. They carry 26% of all air passengers. Image

Ten soldiers have fled a military camp in #Russia

Authorities claim some have already been detained after leaving the unit in the Kochenyovsky District of #Novosibirsk Region last night.

#StopRussia Image

Double-hit in #Kharkiv.

One of #Russia's drones hit near a shopping centre, the other an apartment block.
Four people are known to be injured so far.

Someone filmed one of the drones before it hit the city.

#RussiaIsATerroristState
#Russia is so f**ked up with its revisionism and brainwashing.

Now the Fascist State portrays Stalin as some sort of saint😳

This a guy who banned religion and is one of, if not THE biggest killer in history. Way more than Hitler.

It shows the church is a branch of the FSB. Image
I reported earlier two drones flew to #Russia and #Belarus, but Gayun, the monitoring service for the latter, registered at last 12 UAVs flying into their territory, with at least two likely to have crashed.

This time Lukashenko's lot sent out air defence jets.Image
Image
It looks like #Ukraine has hit another oil depot inside #Russia

Locals in #Penza witnessed drones hitting the Utyos Rosrezervu oil storage facility.

#StopRussia
In UK parliament, the LibDem leader has raised the issue of Trump Jr's appalling post mocking #Ukraine.

@EdwardJDavey has called for the PM to use #Russia's seized assets, and not just the interest, to ensure Kyiv remains fully funded.
@Keir_Starmer was non-committal in reply😡
Down another 50 followers here and up another 350 where the skies are blue.

I am getting a lot of messages from people leaving this platform. Some because of new privacy rules starting tomorrow.
Despite several prompts to accept the new terms, I have not done so.
#Ukraine's Intel puts out a glorious quote after killing
#Russia's Captain 1st Rank Valeriy Trankovsky in occupied #Crimea.

The war criminal was responsible for firing Kaliber missiles at #Vinnytsia in July 2022, killing 29 civilians.
He also struck #Odesa and other cities. Image

Image
New photos from #Kharkiv after the latest drone attacks and a good analysis

New smaller drones, with minimal metal, which don't show up on radars, are being used by #Russia to attack the city.

Earlier in the 🧵 I reported about soldiers on the run in #Novosibirsk.

Police now say 12 escaped, but 7 have been recaptured.

It seems before they fled, the guys tried to destroy their barracks.

🎥Baza subs: @wartranslated
A look now at the flooded area around the #Kurakhivsky reservoir dam.

20m cubic meters of water were released according to #Donetsk Governor Vadim Filashkin. He says there's no threat of flooding for villages on the Volchya River, but all children have been evacuated.
In #Kyiv, the filming location for #Ukraine's version of Masterchef was damaged in the morning attack by #Russia.

The main canopy was destroyed.
Image
Image
In occupied #Crimea two people have been seriously injured after a bridge collapsed - no, NOT that one!

This was on the #Dzhankoy-#Maslovo road.
A car and a truck fell through after what's described as a "spontaneous collapse" on the illegally annexed peninsula.Image
A drone has hit a house in the border region of #Chernihiv.
The resulting fire was extinguished by firefighters an no-one was injured.

Earlier, #Russia also struck an industrial facility in #Myrhorod in the #Poltava region with drones. Image
Fact Check:
Slava Ukraini = Glory to Ukraine
Slava Natsii = Glory to the Nation

FYI:
Glory to Nazis = Slava natsystam

It's the same in Russian + Ukrainian language by the way, so disinfo agents like this guy know they are spreading fake news.

#Germany will hand over the sixth of the planned IRIS-T air defence systems to Ukraine by the end of 2024.

President Zelenskyi made the announcement today after a conversation with Chancellor Scholz.
Still no Taurus!
This afternoon #Russia surged through no man's land to reach almost the centre of #Kupiansk.

DeepState published the video of the incursion, by two columns of vehicles, into the town in #Kharkiv.

One armoured vehicle was only stopped in the town itself and a tank was also hit.
#Russia seems to be relying on film props to continue its' invasion of #Ukraine.

The "Mosfilm" studio states it has handed over armoured vehicles and tanks, up to 65 years old, to Putin's army. 36 tanks and even 8 tractors were hauled from warehouses to assist the war effort. Image
A Chinese man fighting for #Ukraine has reportedly been killed.

29 year old Peng Chenliang had previously been arrested in China for anti-Russia posts on this platform. He hoped to link up with Taiwanese soldiers in Ukraine but died during shelling.

#RussiaIsCollapsing

Moscow tries to hide an economic crisis with dodgy official figures, showing a fall in inflation to 8.16% & food prices also rising less quickly

No Russians agree. Other official data show prices ⬆️0.3% this wk alone & a #Russia think tank predicts disaster Image

Three sponsors this evening after just one in the previous 48 hours, so very welcome and deep thank yous to these fine people:
@PatriciaBossy "Bob S" and @angielewis

You are all my heroes for sponsoring honest, independent, fact-checked journalism 💙💛
And finally for today's thread - surprising good news.

The early drone attack has been repelled and there have been no new UAVs seen in #Ukraine for around two hours now.

Maybe it will be a peaceful night for all Ukrainians🤞
Good night and thank you for reading💕

Today sees the completion of 3 years of full scale war unleashed by #Russia on #Ukraine.

As signs point to an end to this war relatively soon, the ONLY question which should be asked is: are you happy to reward war-criminal terrorists with land?

Here's THE daily thread:
It's Day 1096 of #Russia 's war.

If you missed anything yesterday, catch up on Saturday's news here:

The #UK is in full focus today.
As @Keir_Starmer prepares to fly to Washington, new sanctions will be unveiled tomorrow.

Foreign Sec @DavidLammy says it will be "the largest package of sanctions against #Russia since the early days of the war eroding its military machine."

Day 1083 of the war in Europe and the 1083rd of my daily threads.

Three years ago we knew #Ukraine wouldn't go down without a fight. Now, for the first time in over a year there's genuine reason for #Russia to be worried about the outcome.
Plenty to learn and from in Sunday's thread.
In #Russia, ships crashing and exploding, faking capture of a key town in #Ukraine and late at night drones attacking again.

On the other hand, Moscow attacks civilians. Take a look at what you missed:

100% record in air defence overnight, according to #Ukraine.

Of 83 attack drones fired by #Russia, 61 were shot down by #Ukraine with the other 22 decoys.

I did report a fire in #Sumy last night, but that and damage in #Kharkiv #Poltava + #Kirovohrad were from falling debris. Image

Good morning world, on Day 1076 of #Russia's genocidal war on #Ukraine

It's now 14 days since Trump's inauguration & no peace deal, but his "peace envoy" Kellogg is expected to visit both aggressor and defender soon.

Here's Monday's daily thread. All you need to be in the know
Daily🧵views were slightly up over the weekend, which is heartening as it's a critical time.

#Ukraine is starting to hurt #Russia logistically, while Putin responds by killing civilians, confident he'll soon get a Trump-pass.

Read Sunday's news here:
While #Ukraine hurt #Russia infrastructure during the night (covered at the end of last night's thread), the terrorist state still has success with its own drone attacks.

More than 11% got through 🇺🇦defences overnight, with 38 of 71 UAVs being stopped and 25 likely decoys. Image

Sunday 19 January is Day 1061 of #Russia's all-out war in #Ukraine. We are also just 2 weeks away from the 4,000th day since #Moscow's initial invasion with the start of its illegal takeover of #Crimea

Welcome to another daily thread with all the news you need in one place 💙💛
Thankfully a quieter start to Sunday than yesterday, which means I get a later start today.

Saturday was all about #Russia's double ballistic attack which brought death to 2 #Ukraine cities.
Catch up on that and all yesterday's stories here⬇️

#Russia's overnight attack was less intense, but still, two attack drones slipped through the net according to #Ukraine's air defence figures.

43 of 61 UAVs were destroyed, with 15 decoy/simulation drones posing no threat and one still flying this morning. Image

Hello on Day 1054 of #Russia's terrorist campaign in #Ukraine.

I've been working for a while today, tidying up loose ends, but a late start to the daily thread - the only feed you need for all the important news and analysis.

So a lot to catch up on, let's go again!
Normally I pin the first post of the thread on my profile page, but for another 24 hours the pinned item is about the auction for a truly unique item - please check it out

So, it's even more important I post a link back to yesterday's thread. Here we are
#Ukraine's air defence team worked very efficiently last night and this morning.

#Russia launched 94 drones from four directions.
60 were shot down and 34 more 'simulators' or others were also stopped.

Some houses in #Kharkiv #Sumy and #Poltava regions were damaged by debris. Image

Christmas Day 2024. Day 1036 of the war inflicted on #Ukraine. The third Christmas for Ukrainian people to suffer. Empty chairs at the dinner table, that will never be filled again. Others at the frontline fighting for their lives and the life of the country.

It's the daily🧵
So Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to those celebrating.

A special shout out too, to those working this special day. Also working today, emergency workers in #Ukraine after another massive missile attack

Before that, catch up on yesterday's news here
Thank you to all those who've sent me Christmas messages and bought me coffee - I will round up the sponsors' roll of honour later today.

But first the grim, but expected, news of #Russia's missile attack carried out this Christmas morning.
